Spacious Edwardian two-bed with park views in prime Mayfair, lift and porter.
Uninterrupted south-facing views over Green Park
Set on the third floor of an elegant Edwardian building, this lateral 2-bedroom apartment extends to 911 sq ft and offers uninterrupted views over Green Park. The south-facing reception room fills with natural light, while a principal bedroom with en-suite and a separate kitchen complete a well-proportioned, comfortable layout. Lift access and a porter add daily convenience in this Mayfair location close to Hyde Park, Michelin-starred restaurants and premier shopping.
Practical points are clear and should be considered: the property is leasehold (888 years remaining) and carries a very high annual service charge of £12,599 and ground rent of £1,000. Heating is via a mains gas community scheme and glazing is double glazed, but the building dates from c.1900–1929 with solid brick walls and assumed lack of insulation. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow. There is no recorded flood risk, but local crime levels are noted as very high.
This apartment will suit a buyer seeking a large, characterful central London pied-à-terre or an owner-occupier who values Mayfair location and park views. It also has investor appeal for central London rental, though the high service charge, ground rent and slow broadband will affect running costs and tenant demand. Independent professional checks are advised; enquiries regarding external wall/fire safety have not yielded information, so a buyer should obtain specialist advice before committing.
Overall this is a handsome, spacious flat in a prestigious address that combines period charm with grand park views. The price reflects prime Mayfair location, but purchasers should factor in the substantial ongoing costs and perform full technical and safety investigations.
